Welcome to Schwisow Music

If you are inter­ested in pri­vate gui­tar lessons, Joshua Schwisow offer lessons for those in the Park­er, Frank­town, Cas­tle Rock, and Eliz­a­beth, Col­orado area. I also cov­er some sur­round­ing areas depend­ing on the loca­tion. The first les­son is entire­ly free! Take gui­tar lessons in the com­fort of your own home. I offer com­pet­i­tive rates giv­ing you more for far less than what most gui­tar instruc­tors charge. For more infor­ma­tion and les­son rates send me an email or give me a call.

Experience

My per­sonal play­ing expe­ri­ence includes over 17 years of play­ing expe­ri­ence and over 7 years of teach­ing expe­ri­ence in a vari­ety of gui­tar styles includ­ing Clas­si­cal, Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Chris­t­ian music. I stud­ied for many years with John McCoy, a not­ed Clas­si­cal and Fla­menco Gui­tarist in the Den­ver area. My per­for­mance expe­ri­ence includes a num­ber of dif­fer­ent musi­cal con­texts includ­ing solo gui­tar, church music, wed­dings, spe­cial events, and blues bands. I have years of expe­ri­ence teach­ing gui­tar in one-on-one and group envi­ron­ments.

My goal in teach­ing gui­tar is to fit the needs and musi­cal inter­ests of each stu­dent I teach. Addi­tion­ally, my goal is to make sure every stu­dent I teach has a sol­id foun­da­tion in the basics of gui­tar tech­nique, sight-read­ing, music the­ory, and abil­ity to play in a group set­ting. I offer lessons for Clas­si­cal, Acoustic, and Elec­tric Gui­tar.

I live with my wife and three daugh­ters in Cas­tle Rock, Col­orado.

Testimonials

 “Josh is an excel­lent gui­tar instruc­tor and is pleas­ant to do busi­ness with. Josh’s rates are fair and his work exceeds expec­ta­tions. My son who is tak­ing lessons learns eas­ily from Josh and his improve­ment week to week is appar­ent. I rec­om­mend any­one who wants to learn gui­tar from a true pro­fes­sional to con­tact Josh today.” — Greg Ertel

“Josh has been teach­ing clas­si­cal gui­tar to my 11 year old daugh­ter for the past year. We were grate­ful for his pro­fes­sional man­ner, prompt start time, and clear expec­ta­tions for the week’s prac­tice for my daugh­ter. She looked for­ward to the week­ly lessons, and she enjoyed play­ing in the recital. We are so pleased with her progress and would rec­om­mend Josh as a gui­tar teacher.” — Michelle S.

“I have thor­oughly enjoyed tak­ing lessons from Josh. In just two months he has real­ly honed in on the skills I need­ed most and is help­ing me progress beyond “just chords”. He is patient, encour­ag­ing, and flex­i­ble, which I appre­ci­ate with my busy sched­ule. I have already rec­om­mended Josh to a friend who has always want­ed to learn how to play the gui­tar.” — Pat­ty McK­er­nan
